‘Colbert Report’: Stephen Gets His Super PAC

Posted on Jul 1, 2011

On Thursday, Colbert celebrated the official launch of his Super PAC—which, TPM Muckraker points out, goes by another funny name—in his usual modest style, assembling a crowd of admirers and reminding them, “I do not accept the status quo ... but I do accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express.” That’s some democracy right there. —KA
